East Wind Wellness

East Wind Wellness is a destination holistic medical center located just outside of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area near Zhangjiajie, in the Hunan province of China. The goal of Chinese medicine is to balance the yin and the yang in the body. Similarly, this design balances the traditions of the East and the West, opening doors to Eastern Traditions, just as Marco Polo and Kublai Khan did centuries ago.

This project was primarily an exercise in programming and finishes. We were provided only with an extensive live of programming requirements and the footprint of the building. The rest was up to us. Level one (above) consists of public areas, commercial offices and operational spaces. Level two (at bottom) consists of patient spaces, medical offices and treatment rooms.
